    You Gov poll suggests that winning minds is proving difficult. Blaming Westminster continually had to backfire eventually.

    Last YouGov I saw was predicting 43 seats for the SNP.

    YouGov 43
    Ipsos-Mori 48
    Scottish voting intentions for general election (Ipsos-Mori):

    SNP 44%
    Conservatives 26%
    Labour 16%
    Liberal Democrats 11%
    Greens 2%

    Should Scotland be an independent country?

    Yes 50%
    No 50%

    Who knows who's got the polling right till the day though. They've gotten it so wrong on so many elections now. So many marginals as well in Scotland.

    Truthfully though it won't matter in the long run, Sturgeon is going for another ref next year regardless of Westminster results if Scotland has to leave the Single Market. She, the SNP and 50 % of the Scottish voting public have nothing to lose by going for it in that case since they're already convinced. So why not ? And I repeat again, regardless of Westminster results.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?
  • NHS, Police and Education all in crisis in Scotland according to the BBC, the Herald and the Scotsman.. Oh, wait. Is there an election soon ?

    If there wasn't would the above be any less true?

    There's been an interesting phenomenon that the reports on oil reserves fluctuate based on the proximity to elections (I haven't seen it this time), so I wouldn't be surprised if the propaganda machine is claiming everything the SNP controls is in crisis, ignoring that everything Westminster controls is also in crisis.
